Playground Games Announces Forza Horizon 6 Set in Japan for 2026 Release
Playground Games has officially revealed that the next installment in the Forza Horizon franchise will be set in Japan, with a release date confirmed for 2026, reports 24brussels.
The announcement came through a teaser trailer on the official Forza Horizon Instagram account, ahead of its expected unveiling during the Xbox Tokyo Game Show stream scheduled for later today. The teaser indicates that “The Horizon Festival is heading to Japan.”
This development aligns with Xbox chief Phil Spencer’s earlier statements suggesting that a new Forza title is anticipated in 2026. Alongside Forza Horizon 6, Xbox fans can expect notable releases such as Gears of War: E-Day, a remastered version of Halo CE, and Playground Games’ reboot of Fable.
Previously, Forza Horizon 5 had enjoyed significant success on the PlayStation 5, topping the store charts and defining its position as one of the platform’s most popular games. The new title is also set to be available through Xbox Game Pass and will feature the Xbox Play Anywhere functionality, enhancing gamers’ accessibility across platforms.
As 2026 approaches, Xbox is gearing up for a competitive year ahead, with multiple high-profile releases lined up to attract a diverse gaming audience. The anticipation surrounding Forza Horizon 6 highlights the brand’s commitment to expanding its offerings and immersive experiences.
